Power Ranking All 30 MLB Fanbases by Cockiness Heading into 2013

Everyone, at one point or another, gets cocky. It happens to the best of us.

Whether we just got a promotion, are winning big at a casino, just had the girl (or guy) of our dreams say yes when we asked the big question or something else, there comes a point in everyone's lives (hopefully more than once) where we can't help but feel like we are on top of the world.

Other times, that bravado is transferred onto the sports teams we love.

Their success on the field becomes our own, and we can't help but stick out our chests and scream at the top of our lungs "That's right, MY TEAM just won it all, baby!"

It happens in every sport, from the college ranks to the pros.

And baseball fans are no different than anyone else.

Personally, I am a member of one of the most cocky, arrogant, overbearing fanbases in all of baseball—I'm a Yankees fan.

That badge of bravado is something many of us wear with pride.

For fans of other teams, it's a label they'd sooner forget about.

Let's take a look at the cockiest, most arrogant fans in the game.

*Keep in mind, this is all in good fun. No personal attacks are meant by anything in the slides that follow. Take it all with a grain of salt, folks.

30. Houston Astros

Texans might be known for being brash and bold, but that's simply not the case when it comes to the newest members of the American League, the Houston Astros.

Astros fans are a passionate bunch, but when Jed Lowrie is the main attraction—and most dangerous player with a bat in his hands—on the team, it's essentially impossible to stick your chest out and wax poetic about how good your hometown team is.

29. Tampa Bay Rays

While the Rays contend for the AL East crown and a playoff berth on a yearly basis, fans continue to be no-shows at Tropicana Field.

For the second straight season, the Rays averaged fewer than 20,000 fans per home game, finishing dead last in all of baseball last season with a meager average of 19,255 fans per game.

Those fans who do show up to the games certainly have every right to be cocky—not only is their team a perennial contender on a shoestring budget, but the Rays continue to pump out quality pitchers at breakneck speed.

28. Miami Marlins

If Jeffrey Loria thought Marlins fans were difficult to deal with last year, he's in for a treat in 2013.

After fleecing the taxpayers to pay for a shiny new stadium, Loria blew the entire team up, trading almost everyone with any value to the Toronto Blue Jays for Yunel Escobar and a handful of prospects.

Marlins fans were angry after former manager Ozzie Guillen made pro-Fidel Castro remarks last year; now they're just angry.

It's pretty difficult to be cocky when you have Giancarlo Stanton and a bunch of mediocre players who are borderline major leaguers.

27. Minnesota Twins

Twins fans are certainly supportive of their team and polite enough, but you wonder how much of that is natural—and how much is a natural reaction to the fact that it's not seven-below outside, with blustery winds and snow falling on the ground.

Joe Mauer's presence will always give Twins fans hope that a contending team is just around the corner, but even the most ardent supporters of the team are pretty realistic when it comes to the team's current chances of returning to their former glory.

26. Milwaukee Brewers

Cheering for one of the most potent lineups in baseball, Brewers fans are some of the most passionate and enthusiastic around.

From the sausage races at Miller Park to a perennial MVP candidate in Ryan Braun, there's plenty to cheer for and boast about when it comes to the Brewers.

But these fans will come out to the park for virtually anything, even when their favorite team isn't playing.

Just ask the Cleveland Indians, who played in front of some of its biggest crowds of the 2007 season when the Tribe was forced to use Miller Park as it's "home stadium," after watching a major snowstorm make Jacobs Field in Cleveland unplayable.

16. Baltimore Orioles

Fans of the Orioles have had little choice but to sit by and watch as owner Peter Angelos destroyed the once proud franchise.

Despite even the mercurial owner's best efforts, Buck Showalter led this ragtag group into the playoffs for the first time in more than a decade in 2012, giving Orioles fans something else to brag about, aside from the Inner Harbor and crab cakes.

A passionate fanbase was reinvigorated, and the boasts of future greatness have begun to emanate from Camden Yards once again.

11. Los Angeles Angels

Los Angeles has a free-spending owner, the most exciting young player the game has seen since Ken Griffey, Jr. and a chance to win every season.

Angels fans will be quick to tell you how awesome their team is, but they are equally as quick to get on manager Mike Scioscia, the longest-tenured skipper in the major leagues and one of the more successful managers of the past 20 years.
